Configuration

During the installation process, Events Booking will generate default configuration data. However, you should still review all config options and change it to meet your own requirement if needed.

To review and change Configuration, go to Events Booking => Configuration. When you do that, the screen below will be displayed:

To see the meaning of a config option / parameter, you can hover the moose over the name / title of that config option

As most of the config options are very easy to understand, in the section below, we will just explain / review the most importants config options. If there are other options which are not mentioned here and you don't understand, feel free contact us for support. We are available to assist you whenever you want / you need.

General

Assign Custom Fields to category instead of to events: By default, Events Booking allows you to assign custom fields to individual events. If you set this config option to Yes, you will be able to select the category for the custom field and all events in the same category will have same set of custom fields.

Load JQuery javascript library: Events Booking requires JQuery library to work. So please only set this config option to No if you are using a template which load JQuery already..

Load bootstrap CSS in the front-end: The extension uses twitter bootstrap for front-end layouts. So please only set this config option to No if your site template loads twitter bootstrap already.

Twitter bootstrap version: Events Booking supports twitter bootstrap both version 2 and version 3. However, please only set this config option to Twitter Bootstrap version 3 if your site template is built based on twitter boostrap 3 and has twitter bootstrap version 3 loaded already. Otherwise, please just set this config option to Twitter Bootstrap version 2.

From Name: The sender name uses to send emails in the system (to admin and registrants). If you leave it empty, the From Name which is setup in Global Configuration of your site will be used.

From Email: The sender email uses to send emails in the system (to admin and registrants). If you leave it empty, the From email which is setup in Global Configuration of your site will be used.

Notification emails: The emails you want to receive notification when someone register for an event on your site. If you want to user multiple emails, separate these emails by comman. For example: paypal@joomdonation.com,acounting@joomdonation.com.

As Membership Pro uses Joomla core captcha, beside setting this config option to Yes, you need to config Joomla core re-captcha plugin, too.

Activate Deposit Feature: If set to Yes, you can setup deposit amount for each event (percent or fixed amount). When users register for the event, they can choose to pay the full amount or pay the deposit amount. In case they just pay for deposit amount, then pay the remaining when they attends the event.

If you set to No, registrants will have to access to registration history page to download the invoice. This config option should be set to Yes if you use invoice feature.
